“O’Reilly seems to have stolen the Acorn story from Beck, IMO. Beck was all over it while O’Reilly said “Acorn plays a little part”, while he held up two fingers to show how little...”

You are exactly right. I was listening to BOR the other nite, and I can only paraphrase here, but the gist of his comment was how he was the genesis of the Acorn story, and that Beck had joined him on his crusade against Acorn also. It was exactly the opposite, Beck jumped all over Acorn, and then O’Reilly chimed in, and then BOR tried to steal the story as his own. What a slimeball for doing that.

Now coming from a slightly different slant on this topic, I am so sick of the whole “moral equivalence” game that I could toss my cookies, if I had eaten any. By the way, I too am a diabetic, so I can’t eat a lot of cookies in order to toss them. The likes of BOR, and even Glenn Beck sometimes, although he’s my fav, do this all the time. They will pick out a list of sins committed by the Dems, and almost all the Fox talking heads then inevitably toss in the line “and the Repubicans do it too”, and then drum up one or two isolated examples of Pub sins to bolster their case that both parties are equally guilty of bad behavior. It is so utterly dishonest and bogus.

BOR does it to bolster his fence sitting “Independent” image. When Beck does it, it is because he would like to have a third party form, and he has been pushing the Libertarian Party. Someone has gotten hold of Beck’s brain and is pushing him to become a Libertarian when, by nature, I believe him to be a conservative, not a true Libertarian. You can tell from the few times he has talked about drug policy. One night he was opening up the conversation about legalizing marijuana, and he just really couldn’t quite swallow the premise himself. But the Libertarians obviously have been working on him.

So, between BOR and his I’m an Independent crap, while he draws a moral equivalence between the Dems and Pubs (which is why he attacked FR tonite) and Beck and his now I’m a Libertarian, although I don’t say it very loudly because it really doesn’t quite fit my basic instincts, however, both parties are equally culpable for the sins of our nation, and then the rest of the talking heads on Fox chiming in with more of the same (with the exception of Hannity, who just likes to have lots of libs on to argue with, which is just as bad), they thus all unwittingly end up facilitating the Dems by painting the Pubs as just the same as the Dems, which is, of course, an outright lie. (Yes, I know the above was an endless sentence.)

There will be no third party to the rescue. The choice will remain between the Dems and Pubs for years to come. But by the constant drawing of a moral equivalence between the Dems and Pubs by the MSM, the American people will lose out by swallowing this kool aid, because, as all Freepers know, there are MAJOR differences between the parties when it comes to basic ideology. I have lots more to say, but lucky for those that attempt to read this, I’m tired and am going to bed to sleep off my general irritation on this whole subject.
